Women
and the Medical Profession.
The struggle waged
by women for emancipation from the tyranny of convention has been a constant
theme over the centuries.
A survey of the history
of the first profession that not only opened its doors to women, but was
also largely created by them. Starting as far back as medieval times,
with the role of nuns as nurses in feudal communities, the book contains
fascinating stories of courage and single-minded determination, epitomised
in very different ways by such figures as Florence Nightingale and Eidth
Cavell. |

The
Sociology of Women and Leisure.
What leisure do women
have, what do they think of it, and what do they do with it? Leisure is
treated in a broad context, covering activities and interests from competitive
sport through flower arranging to sitting down at home.
Though the book emphasises
throughout the complex relations between leisure, class, age and race
and the immense variety of women's leisure experiences. The author shows
how these different experiences nonetheless have a common background in
the constraints placed on women's leisure by men's expectations and relations
of male dominance over women. £1.50

William
& Eleanor, |
How
women are programmed to fail in a man's world - and how to stop it!
- Do you
have to be the first one at work in the morning and the ast one out
at night - and keep the neatest desk, too?
- Are you
sure you will ruin your new romance because, sooner or laterm your boyfriend
will discover the real you?
- Do you
think you shouldn't get angry?
- Is it
impossible for you to leave dirty dishes in the sink overnight?
- Do you
feel guilty when you stand in the 'Express Checkout' queue at the supermarket
with eleven items instead of ten?
If you want to stop living
your life by other people's rules, The Good Girl Syndrome offers real
answers. It provides practical strategies that allow you to rise up and
take full responsibility for your life.
Psychologists William Fezler
and Eleanor Field have developed a programme that offers concrete plans
for change. In twelve simpleprogrammes, you will learn to act on the myths
that keep you down - on everything from 'There is something wrong with
me' to 'Men are better' to 'Good girls don't really enjoy sex'. |

for this edition express the range of feminist thinking and recent research
on women's leisure. They focus on women's own perceptions and experiences,
which too often have been ignored in leisure studies.
This book presents
a wide-ranging introduction to the subject of women and leisure and will
be important reading for students of leisure and sports studies, physical
education, women's studies, sociology, social policy and community education. |
